Who lived in America before history had a name? J. W. Foster follows the traces. The evidence is underfoot still. Pre-Historic Races Of The United States Of America is a classic archaeology treatise that brings together early field reports, geological observation, and comparative argument to map the prehistoric United States as nineteenth-century scholars understood it. With a clear eye for north american antiquities, Foster examines ancient american archaeology through the earthworks and artefacts associated with mound builder civilizations, weighing what they suggest about prehistoric native american cultures and the long timelines of settlement. Readable, brisk, and idea-rich, it remains a rewarding public domain history classic for curious general readers, while offering an invaluable snapshot of how archaeology and ethnology were shaped into a modern discipline. As a 19th century anthropology book, its lasting interest lies not only in the material it gathers, but in the questions it asks: how evidence is interpreted, how national origins are imagined, and how science, politics, and belief can converge on the past. For archaeology students reference needs, and for american history researchers tracing the roots of debate in ancient North America, this complete unabridged edition is also a handsome cornerstone for any public domain ebook collection of foundational scholarship. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
